Currently, YouTube itself is the most widely used platform by internet users to find entertainment. Because there are a variety of interesting videos that can be enjoyed according to the user's hobbies and desires.

In addition, it is not uncommon for YouTube to be used for work or research needs. It also requires a transcript of the audio contained in the YouTube video.

YouTube Video Audio Transcript Features

The first step you can take to enable the transcript feature on YouTube is to open a browser on your device such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

After that, go to the YouTube site and search for the video you want to watch and display the transcript. After the video is playing, the user can select the three-dot icon located at the bottom of the video menu. Select the "Open Transcript" menu.

After selecting the menu, the text of the video will automatically appear. Users can also directly copy the available text and move it to documents such as Microsoft Word.

To copy the contents of the text, the user only needs to block on the available sentences or text. Then click "Copy" or press "CTRL+C" on your computer or laptop keyboard, and copy the text in Microsoft Word.

Unfortunately, each sentence of the YouTube video transcript is displayed separately. Therefore, the user must copy the transcribed sentences one by one manually and cannot copy the entire text directly.

However, the subtitles feature on YouTube will make it easier for you to transcribe YouTube video audio into subtitles. Users can also use the copied text as needed.

For the record, YouTube's audio video transcript feature can only be used at this time via a computer or laptop, while Android users cannot use it yet.

This is how to use the video transcript feature on YouTube to make it easier for users to copy YouTube audio into text.
